Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: 12. The road is under your feet. (1/2)
[system message:]
[you have completed your first battle, successfully unlocking the passive effect of deconstruction technique.]
[when you take damage from a target or deal damage to a target, you will passively deconstruct them.]
[the more damage you take or deal, the better the passive deconstruction effect on the target.]
[you dealt 12 construct value damage to the skeleton hound.]
[skeleton hound’s deconstruction completion degree increased by 12%.]
[you have obtained the following deconstruction result:]
[the skeleton hound has the “bone supply” feature. its bones can be repurposed by skeleton warriors, big skeletons, and other undead constructs to replenish their own construct value.]
…
putting the skeleton hound’s feature aside for now, the passive deconstruction skill effect definitely made noland lee’s eyes light up.
he had always been worried about not having enough energy to deconstruct everything he wanted.
now!
he had found a new way to deconstruct.
that was through battle.
deconstructing opponents in battle, mining all their intelligence, to offset the energy consumption and save a lot of energy.
at this thought, noland lee’s heart grew hot.
looking at the skeleton warrior and skeleton hound again, he had the illusion of facing a “money tree”…
as long as he struck hard at these “money trees”, they would continually drop “money” in the form of deconstruction results…
this “money” falling from the trees included the weaknesses of the undead constructs…
and, their summoning methods!
noland lee’s pupils dilated slightly, and his heart twitched.
a very fanciful and bold idea quickly took shape in his mind.
could he, noland lee, become a necromancer?
by deconstructing undead creatures and obtaining their summoning requirements.
by deconstructing the spell books of the undead cult to understand the mysteries of death-related spells and the knowledge of summoning undead creatures.
as long as he deconstructed thoroughly enough, invested enough energy, and tried enough times, he could potentially rely on the deconstruction technique to embark on the extraordinary path of necromancy.
given time, he could completely stage a fake death performance through the undead creatures he controlled, use an incredibly realistic fake death event to break free from personal debt and the shackles of the imperial army, and become a free traveler.
or, with the help of the undead creatures he controlled, speedrun military merit and rise through the ranks within the korabo legion…
to stay or to leave, it all depended on his own will.
and all of this had to start with deconstructing the undead runes and undead creatures.
at this moment, noland lee suddenly realized where the solution to his predicament lay.
it turned out to be right under his feet, right in the midst of this dangerous, cold, and dark grave vault.
“watch out!”
corporal mars warned:
“here comes another group of skeleton hounds! knock their heads off and then we’ll keep retreating!”
noland lee snapped out of his brief trance.
he waved his engineering hammer in anticipation, eager for more skeleton hounds to attack.
the oncoming lost souls enemies did not disappoint him, as this time 10 skeleton hounds surged out of the tomb passage.
